My brewhouse manufacturer is selling me on an integrated chiller. Its a 2 stage 10ton chiller with an internal 41 gallon glycol tank. 120k btu/hr cooling capacity. $16k
My brewhouse installation/buildout contractor is trying to sell me on another unit. Its a 2 stage 16hp(8hpx2) chiller with an external 300 gallon insulated glycol tank and 190k btu/hr cooling capacity. $31k
Does anyone have experience with either/both of the integrated/modular chiller? I am getting the hard sell on the modular as it would support future expansion and be a better investment long term. My biggest concern in opening is the starting cash and cash flow - so having another 15k in the bank by going with option 1 is also initially attractive.
Anyone want to school me on which option they went with and if they have any regrets?
Thanks,
Brian
